looks like the whole tonyfrancis.free-online.co.uk subdomain is 
blocked out right now. Scream LOUD at the ISP.

The worst I've seen was this DNS entry an ISP set up for us:

ftp.mycompany.com	CNAME	ftp.mycompany.com  [1]

that hostname resolves to itself :-) I laughed for a minute, 
apologized to the six people with paying clients needing to get at 
files on that server, and tried to get the dimwit (he had it 
resolving to an IP # earlier that day, and changed it for no apparent 
reason) who did it fired. I had to settle for embarressed apologies 
from the dimwit, the president of the ISP, and the client who 
recommended them to us.

to keep this ontopic I'll volunteer to yell at free-online for you
